---------------------MOROCCO 2010
On the 27th. July ten teenagers along with Ashleigh and
Stuart are heading off for a big adventure. We will be flying from
Edinburgh to Marrakesh for 8 days. We begin our trip with a few days
trekking around some of Morocco's famous mountains where we will get a
chance to visit some local villages. This will give us a great
opportunity to meet with local families and experience the local
culture. After our trekking phase, we will be heading to a local
village school where we will be helping to build, repair and decorate
some of the classrooms which are very run down. We will also be given
the chance to play and interact with the children of the school. We
hope to take out a number of resources such as pens and books along
with posters etc for the children. Our trip will end with a day in the
city visiting local markets and sites. Every night will end with a
bible study! I’m sure fun will be had by all and we will have an
amazing experience. We will have lots of pictures to show when we get
back!
God bless

Compass and Hub
Hub is still going
strong! We have had a great year
and our numbers are continuously rising! Some nights we are up to 70
teenagers!
We are hoping to start some outings with the kids. We have begun
sorting out
some white water rafting trips as well as looking into going to the new
shock
gym. Hub continues to provide sports, chatting and homework help and we
hope in
the near future we will be putting together a worship band as well as
starting
a youth bible study. We would like to take this opportunity to thank
Evelyn and
Wendy for their constant help and support and all the others who come
along and
help us on a Tuesday evening. If you feel like you could give us an
hour of
your time some months, then please get in contact with me. (June

COMPASS
Compass has come to an end for the summer but we have had an amazing year. There are still up to 30 children coming to Compass every week and we have been involved in lots of different things this year. We have completed our “Friends and Heroes” series and have been involved in learning about lots of different people in the Bible. Playing games and getting to know one another is also a big factor in Compass. We hope that Compass will continue to grow! If you are interested in finding out more, please speak to Ashleigh for more info. Compass runs on a Tuesday from 6pm to 7.15pm.
A big thank-you to Jill and Susan for their constant help with Compass and to all the leaders who give up their time every week. God bless!
